A LAND CASE.

Opinion OF the U b Attorney -G en- .
eraItn Favor of the Railroad.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-In compli.
ance with the request from the Secre.
tary Of the Interior, Attorney General
Garland rendered an opinion in the cele-
brated case of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way VS.. Guilford Miller. on appeal from
the decision of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office. The history of
the case briefly stated is as follows: On
December 20, 1884, Miller entered
homestead entry of the tract in question
in the Walla Walla, Washington Terri.
tory, Land Office. The tract SO entered
lies within forty miles of the line of the
general route of the said road, as shown
by map. filed February 81, 1872, which
filing. under the granting act, operated
to withdraw the land from settlement
and entry. On the defiaite location Of
the road, October 4, 1880, the land was
found to be outside of the forty and
within the fifty.mile indemnity limit,
and the withdrawal on the original route
was continued. As an indemnity for its
withdrawal the company selected land
October II, 1888. The principal ques-
ton at issue is whether the railroad
indemnity Withdrawals are authorized
by law. Or, in other words, whether
the officer Of the Interior Department
had or has the authority to withhold
lands within the indemnity limits frem
entry and settlement. The Attorney
General finds that such withdrawal does
not rest upon any statutory provision,
but upon the general authority of the
Land Department., which has been rec.
ognized by Congress and repeatedly
a affirmed by the Supreme Court of the
United States, and is now regarded as
too well established to be questioned.
The land having been surreptitiousIy
since 1872, it follows, there.
fore. that Miller's entry was improperly |
allowed.

BISMARCK, Oak, March lS.-The
Washburne gorge broke last night and
early this morning the river began to
rise rapidly. The gorge was formed
below the city. The ice carried every
thing with it and struck an immense
warehouse of the Northern Pacific, one
of the largest in the world. The work.
men narrowly escaped drowning, and in
less than two hours from the time of the
breaking of the gorge the water was in
the second stories of the river boarding
houses, which had been built on what
was considered solid ground. A ware
house nearly 700 feet in length was
moved bodily over thirty feet and sent
crashing against the bluffs. The loss on
this building will be over $4,000.
Meadow Land, south of Bismarck,
comprising 5000 acres. is now one vast
sea ard is flowing over the newly made
channel at the rate of ten miles an hour.
The river, at this point, which is usu-
ely three.quarters of mile wide,
is now over six miles in width. North
ern Pacific trains will hardly be able to
cross the river for several days, and Bis
marck will probably be the western ter.
minus for week. Superintendent Gra-
ham attempted to go to Mandau. but
the water on tho west size of the river is
flowing over the track four feet, and
the fires in the engine were put out.
Mandan is submerged, and the people in
the lower part of the city have been
moving into the upper stories of their
dwellings. All small dwellings on the
banks Of the stream have been swept
away or destroyed, and the steamboats,
lying at Rock Haven are in danger The
high trestle OF the Northern Pacific at
this point has been damaged. AT 10
o'clock the new channel which the river
has cut across the prairie, let out and
the river is falling slowly, but the worst
has not yet come. The ice went out at
Fort Buford this morning, with rise of
thirty feet, the highest ever known.
This food will not reach here until Sat.
urday, when there will probably be ter
rible destruction.

them to be Mexican horse thieves dis

that Apaches have left the reservation,

the statement was given out, apparently
by authority in Wall street, that the

Hamilton and Dayton railroad. The
backer Of these parties is reported to be
Christopher Meher, millionaire rubber
manufacturer of this city. There are.
it is asserted, no other parties back of
the purchase of any importance, and
although G. P. Huntngton's name is
coupled with the Hamilton and Dayton
railroad, he officially denies the connec.
tion, and those nearest to him assert to
their personal friends that he has no

SUCCESSFUL TRIAL

OF a Steam Car-Heating APpar-
atus mt New York.
NEW YORK, March lS.-The Superin-
tendent of Motive Power of the New
York Central railway said this afternoon
that the trial of the steam car.heating
apparatus, which was made yesterday
on train running from Peekskill to this
city, demonstrated the feasibility of the
scheme. The disadvantage of double
conneciing-pipes between the cars was
overcome by the use of brass telescope
and ball and socket. joint. Steam is
used direct from the locomotive boiler,
through a pressure.reducing valve. and
strain of five pounds is carried on the
pipes. The main difficulties hitherto
encountered in adopting steam.heating
on railroads have been in connecting
pipes between the cars, and in reducing
the pressure of steam.
